Despite it being pink, which is usually an instant win in my book, I was always slightly disappointed by my Babyhawk, largely due to the complete lack of camera protection (I broke the camera on literally the second outing). So I figured I'd see if 3D printed PET-G was a plausible option for something this small & with such minimal weight.
I went with a R9 Mini simply because it's both smaller & cheaper than any of the 2.4GHz receivers from FrSky, even if the long dipole antenna is a bit awkward on such a smol frame.
Dry weight is 77g, so notably up compared to the ~64g of the Babyhawk, but ain't it just the cutest?

DJI has always owned the drone photography market, but smaller acrobatic drones are starting to enter the market. They have the advantage of close proximity flight indoors and around people. There's more artistic freedom and..

For the longest time we've been limited to 3 to 4 minutes of flight and lots and lots of batteries. With more efficient motors and frame designs it's now possible to push the envelope much further. This guide will walk you through the process of building a micro long range quad capable of flying 8-30 minutes and more than 4km. The build is moderately difficult, but with the right tools and steady hands..

hey,
Nice colors :)
I'm building a similar, albeit smaller, micro and have annissue mounting the Foxeer arrow
Did you 'just' zip tie the camera? No seat nothing? And how can you angle it?
Thank you!
It was just zip ties to the top plate, which gave it a bit of upward tilt. It's not a great solution, it needs longer standoffs to allow more than a very acute angle because the camera/VTX is just too big otherwise.
